If you guys want to see a hobby run amok, you've got to get your wives interested in the craft of making candles.

It's not too expensive.  First you have to buy the four different kinds of wax which includes soft container style and harder pillar paraffin waxes, soy, and gel.  You'll need a few different colors of dye, and who knows how many different scent oils so they smell nice.  In the industry, it is called scent throw.  Add to that the numerous jars/containers to hold the soft paraffin, the soy, and the gel.  Don't forget a number of molds and wick pins for the pillar candles.  Did I mention the wicks?  Yeah, you need an assortment of those for the different waxes / sizes.  Toss in a label made just for your company's candles and a few safety labels, boxes and bags for the candles you sell at craft shows or mail out.  Postage and mailing labels.  By now, your checkbook should only be down a few grand, or more.

Oops, I almost forgot.  You need something to melt the wax before you can make them, so add a cooker for each different type, they only run about $60 a pop.

So why in the world would anybody want to do something this crazy?  Because from September through Christmas, the little woman will be at craft shows each and every weekend.

Fish anytime you want, and uninterrupted football on the weekends!  My only hobby is looking for more craft shows to fill in any open dates.

I may have been behind you once on the Jersey 'pike. About three miles back in the line of cars that was following you. The date was May 2, 2003.

As for hobbies, it's golf, travel, puttering around the yard, tinkering, and once in a while video games, the role playing variety.

Yeah, it was probably me. I was probably destroying the stalls in the rest stops, rendering them useless for everyone else. Another hobby of mine....

I've always considered you to be very ...colorful. :D

Some of you guys have interesting lives. At this point in my life reading of the adventures of others is my hobby. ::) I do like reading, writing, politics (mostly as a critic), theology, and good food. Lately I'm into handguns. I am armed and dangerous. :-?

FWIW Bassn Blvd has lasted a very long time as a pimp. He has been doing it for at least 4 or 5 years that I know of. That is a lifetime in his business. :)
